Alex, There can be more than two neighbours for an isohypse (elevation contour line). However, all the neighbours will have the same elevation or one elevation interval up or down. So, if you created elevation contours for every 10 meters, a contour at elevation 40 can have neighbours with elevation 30, 40 and 50 meters. You may have to search for proximity with all these contours.
IMO, an easier and faster way to guess this is by comparing the minimum and maximum elevation values in the raster's area. This will also give a better idea of the terrain's topology.
